Jon Vinyl is a 2 x Juno Nominated R&B artist from Toronto whose keen sense of emotion has given his listeners the ability to tap into their nostalgic moments of love through a sound that has an air of sophistication and vulnerability.

His work has garnered the attention of OVO Radio, along with the upper echelon of the industry like Billboard, Noisey, BBC 1Xtra, MTV, and Ebro Darden of Beats1, and Apple Music.

Quotable Lyrics:

Song: Numb (off of Heartbreak Hill Album)

“Save me from that thing we call life

(Save me, baby, save me, baby)

I guess that maybe one more drink would be nice

I wanna feel some

I feel so numb”
